Dzenan Pejcinovic is one step closer to completing his dream move to Stuttgart, as Wolfsburg’s sporting director, Dieter Hecking, confirmed total agreement on Saturday. After Wolfsburg’s goalless draw with Kaiserslautern, the club’s former coach said they had agreed with a club on his transfer, without mentioning Stuttgart.

Wolfsburg declined multiple offers for the Germany U21 international, while FC Porto’s attempt to lure the striker was also rejected by the player. However, the 21-year-old is keen to join Stuttgart this summer.

Pejcinovic was named in Wolfsburg’s squad for the 2. Bundesliga opener, but he ended the game against Kaiserslautern as an unused substitute. According to Kicker, the two clubs reached full agreement on a €25 million transfer fee.

After Kicker’s confirmation, Sky Sports reported there is still one key detail yet to be negotiated between the clubs despite Hecking’s statement. Nonetheless, they also noted the deal is in an advanced stage.
